The wasp, originally from Kenya and the size of a gnat, lays eggs in young fruit flies, later allowing the larvae to eat the young flies. UH conducted an environmental assessment and found no significant impact from the release of the wasps. Public comment is allowed on UH’s permit application until Oct. 23.

HIV Drug shows promise for treating Ebola Dr. Gobee Logan in rural Liberia succeeded in treating 13 of his Ebola patients by using an HIV drug called Lamivudine. Logan said he got the idea of using this drug after he read in scientiﬁc journals that HIV and Ebola replicate the same way in the body he ﬁrst used Lamivudine after a healthcare worker caught the Ebola virus; shortly after, the worker showed improvement and survived.

According to a statement issued by the city DTS, a cycle track is a protected bike lane placed between a sidewalk and on-street parking in order to separate bicyclists from traffic. McMaster cited his experience using cycle tracks in San Francisco, and said that he preferred biking next to parked cars rather than moving traffic. Once the cycle track is completed, he intends to frequent the new King Street lanes. To avoid interference with bus stops, the cycle track is being built on the left side of the road, and the availability of on-street parking will be minimally affected. “The cycle track can move more people as opposed to walking. ... We don’t anticipate it to have a negative impact on traffic flow,” Sayers said. In anticipation of the probable increase of bicyclists on the roads, he said the city plans to add several new bike racks. “We have already added two more on King in the last few weeks. On Wai‘alae, we have a few more [installation locations] that are on our list. We only have a few [bike racks] in stock right now, but we will definitely be adding more,” he said. Stretching from Alapai Street to Isenberg Street, the King Street cycle track will be about two miles in length and 10 feet wide once complete, plus a 3-foot “buffer zone” to better ensure safety for bikers. In an extra measure of caution, the city has agreed to paint the lane green in order to attract more attention to bicyclers on the street. Though it is initially being constructed as a one-way lane, the city plans to renovate the cycle track to a two-way lane at a later date, once plans are in place for the establishment of traffic signals accommodating bicyclists traveling in both directions.

The City believes the construction of the King Street cycle track will make it easier for pedestrians, motorists and bicyclists alike to navigate the streets of Honolulu. “It’s to promote all various modes of transportation,” Sayers said.

As part of Honolulu Mayor Kirk Caldwell’s commitment to improve O‘ahu’s roads, streets surrounding the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa campus are being repaved to include protected bike lanes. “Bicycling is part of the solution to traffic problems, and it’s a clean and healthy form of transportation,” city bicycle coordinator for the city Department of Transportation Services Chris Sayers said. “People say they like to ride, but they don’t feel safe.” UH Mānoa’s 2011 Campus Transportation survey showed as much as 9 percent of the total campus population reported bicycling as a mode of transportation – and not all are satisfied with the current condition of Honolulu’s streets. “I think that our bike lanes, they need to be designed better,” Brian McMaster, a UH Mānoa student who regularly bikes in Honolulu said. The City confirmed plans are underway to repave, then implement new, protected bike lanes on Wai‘alae

Avenue and South Beretania Street. Construction has also recently begun on the South King Street cycle track – the first infrastructure of its kind on the island. “The goal is to finish by the end of this calendar year,” Sayers said. Sayers was able to confirm that plans for the construction of additional bicycle lanes and “sharrows” – a mark painted on streets to notify drivers that they are legally obligated to share their lane with bicyclists – are presently in place for the Diamond Head area. Another project of a similar nature is currently being tailored for the Kailua area. Eventually, the City intends to build a network of bike lanes that connect with the King Street cycle track, though these plans have not yet been finalized.

According to a national 2012 survey on bicyclist attitudes conducted

by the National Highway Trafﬁc Safety Administration (NHTSA), 88 percent of bikers surveyed felt that their safety was threatened at some point during their most recent ride. For those who lived in proximity of bike lanes, only 16 percent reported never taking advantage of these commodities. Additional data from the NHTSA in 2012 showed that motor vehicle crashes were responsible for the deaths of 726 bicyclists. Of these incidents, 69 percent occurred in urban areas. This same data also showed that 49,000 riders were reported to have sustained injuries nationwide. Of these injuries, 29 percent were due to collision with a motor vehicle, 13 percent because of poor roadway or walkway conditions and another 13 percent from a crash of some other nature. On its website, the city notes that the installation of these dedicated bike lanes will discourage bicyclists from using the sidewalk and help prevent pedestrian accidents. WORKING TOGETHER TO FIND A SOLUTION

O‘ahu’s “Bicycle Plan,” originally published in 1999, has been a constantly evolving, community effort that aims to make biking a more readily accessible method of transportation for all members of the community, no matter what their skill level. Throughout the development of the Bicycle Plan which includes proposed lanes, routes, programs and events pertaining to the state-sponsored encouragement of biking, UH Mānoa has worked in conjunction with city planners to execute the construction of new bicycle infrastructure. “We do work with the university, we have a Mayor’s Advisory Committee on Bicycling that meets monthly, and there are … members on it that are from the UH administration,” Sayers said of

the City’s effort to include UH Mānoa in the design process. Committee meetings, held the second Tuesday of every month in the Frank F. Fasi Municipal Building, are open to the public and exist for the sole purpose of improving Honolulu’s bicycling environment, according to DTS’s website. The campus’s Department of Commuter Services said it has contributed to the development of the project by conducting surveys, raising awareness and providing a medium through which students can voice their concerns on the matter. “UH Mānoa Commuter Services fully supports the City’s efforts to create new bike lanes and update existing bike lanes. Commuter Services does work with the Department of Transportation Services and other City ofﬁces to ensure that roads leading to, from and around campus are safe and easily accessible,” Randy Lueder, alternate transportation specialist for Commuter Services said. He added that the campus has taken steps to make bicycling on campus safer by creating sharrow lanes on East-West Road, Maile Way, Farrington Road, Campus Road and Lower Campus Road. Lueder noted that they have also worked to make bicycling a more easily accessible mode of transportation by placing bike racks on the Rainbow Shuttles and providing free permits for riding and parking bikes on campus. The university is currently working to replace inadequate bike racks around campus as well. By spring 2015, Commuter Services also plans to allow all riders access to a lower campus bike cage to provide additional storage and security.

Is Mānoa missing out on international students? Campus international student enrollment continues to decrease

According to the Institute of Higher Education’s Open Doors Data, the number of international students studying at U.S. universities and colleges is increasing. In academic year 2012-13, the country saw a 7.2 percent jump from the previous year with a 5.7 percent jump before that. According to numbers provided by the International Student Services (ISS) ofﬁce on campus, 1,778 international students attended Mānoa in 1994. In years following, that number varied, decreasing to 1,333 in 1999 and increasing to 1,703 in 2004. In 2013, there were 1,128 international students.

DECREASING INTERNATIONAL ENROLLMENT

dents are required to have J-1), home country preferences or requirements and in cases, student preferences,” she said in an email interview. Staff said the campus’s international enrollment decline has been happening for quite some time. “There has been a steadily decreasing international enrollment at UH Mānoa in the past two decades,” she said.

2015

As universities and colleges across the country see increasing international student enrollment, the Mānoa campus has seen a decrease. For the past 20 years, the number of students coming to Mānoa from other countries has declined from nearly 1,800 students enrolled in 1994 to nearly 1,200 students enrolled in 2013. “It’s kind of hard to believe, considering Hawai‘ i is a good location to study,” said Justin Calso, a junior ﬁnance and international business major.

These numbers, taken each fall semester, include students on F-1 and J-1 visas who are required to be full-time students, according to Martha Staff, assistant director of ISS. “The key to whether a student receives the F-1 or J-1 certiﬁcate of eligibility for a visa depends on various factors: funding in general, requirements of speciﬁc scholarships (both East West Center and Fulbright stu-

These numbers are for international students with F-1 and J-1 visas.

This decrease reflects numerous influences, she said, including dramatic increases in non-resident tuition, as well as concurrent decreases in some scholarships for international students that had been offered by the campus and the East-West center. According to tuition data from the Office of the Registrar, non-resident tuition was $2,230 a semester in academic year 1994-95 for fulltime undergraduate students. In 2014 dollars, tuition cost $3,579.01 in 1994. This academic year, tuition is $14,316 for full-time undergraduate non-residents a semester, according to the campus’s course catalog. “We believe that the high cost of living, the limited job market in Hawai‘ i and Hawai‘ i’s geographical isolation continue to play significant roles in the choice of UH Mānoa as a study destination for students [and their parents] from some parts of the world,” Staff said. Calso, who has been a member of the campus’ International Student Association for the past four years, agrees. “The first reason that I thought of was that it’s expensive. Tuition for regular students has gone up. I wouldn’t be surprised if international students had to pay way more,” he said. He added that the name of the school is also a factor in how inter-

national students decide where to go in the U.S. “Students may prefer to go to the mainland for that full American experience with schools that are more well-known, especially the Ivy Leagues,” he said. A DECLINE IN INTERNATIONAL STUDENT SCHOLARSHIPS

The Asia-Pacific Tuition Differential Exemption (APTDE) was offered by the campus until 2007 to entering international students from selected Asian and Pacific nations. The scholarship, which was established by the state legislature in the 1980s, was administered by the ISS to up to 600 undergraduate and graduate students per year. If the students met the required 3.0 GPA at previous colleges and universities, their non-resident differential was waived so they could pay resident tuition rates. “This very generous scholarship preceded the so-called UH autonomy, and large state budget cuts and the resulting tuition increases that have occurred over time,” Staff said. “The lack of this scholarship since its demise has, we believe, made a significant difference in recruitment as well as retention of international students at UH Mānoa.”

International students: other cultures give local students perspective In 2012, the International Undergraduate Student Scholarship (IUSS) was implemented. The scholarship provides $10,000 per year per awardee but requires a 3.5 GPA and is limited to 50 undergraduate degree-seeking students. “This means that roughly 12 new awards can be offered each year, assuming about a quarter of the recipients will graduate every year,” Staff said. RECRUITMENT EFFORTS

The majority of international stu-

dents arriving at UH Mānoa are a result of the numerous efforts of the campus’s admissions office. With its main focus on the Asia-Pacific region, the top countries from which international students at UH originate are Japan, Korea, China and Taiwan, according to Jan Taniguchi, assistant director for the campus’s admissions office. Recruiters seek students through various college fairs, high school visits and meeting with embassy officials. In addition to partnering with the Hawai‘i English Language Program

and Study Hawai‘i, the admissions ofﬁce also collaborates with the state Department of Business and Economic Development & Tourism. UH bills itself as an economic driver and hopes to spread awareness of the UH system across the world. The campus’s involvement with Linden Tours has also aided in its recruitment members, Taniguchi said. Over the years, UH Mānoa has welcomed international students from nearly 90 countries, according to statistics from ISS. “[Local] students are able to gain

a different perspective from students around the world,” Taniguchi said. “It’s our biggest hope that by learning together and working with each other, we can all get along.” Calso thinks it’s important for the campus to be diverse. “Even just having a conversation with an international student, you gain a lot of knowledge, and I feel much more open-minded and culturally knowledgeable about different places,” he said. “Meeting and talking with an international student is like having a taste of what

it’s like to be from their country.” Francisco Hernandez, vice chancellor for students at Mānoa echoed this. “[It’s] important that we provide all of our students with the breadth of worldwide experiences, background and different ways of examining complex problems,” he said in an email interview. “It is also important to have students from other countries learn from our local students how best to work and excel within a multicultural setting.” Ka Leo O Hawai‘i

Recently dismissed University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa Chancellor Tom Apple joins a list of past presidents and chancellors to take up lower-level positions in the UH system. The list of former high-level administrators includes Apple, past UH President David McClain and former UH Mānoa Chancellor Virginia Hinshaw. Apple was named chancellor in May 2012 and served approximately two years of a ﬁve-year contract before being terminated this July. Upon termination, he was offered a professorship in the campus’s chemistry department for roughly $300,000 a year, according to a Hawai‘ i News Now article. Hinshaw was named UH Mānoa chancellor in July 2007 and served a ﬁve-year term. Hinshaw stepped down in July 2012 and after a

10-month sabbatical began teaching at the John A. Burns School of Medicine (JABSOM). Earlier this year, Hinshaw was given the position of advisor to the director of the UH Cancer Center for roughly $300,000 a year, according to a Paciﬁc Business News article. McClain was declared interim president of UH in August of 2004 to later be named UH president in 2006 for a three-year term. After a one-year sabbatical he joined the Shidler College of Business on the UH Mānoa campus, according a Paciﬁc Business News article. TRANSITIONING FROM A HIGH-LEVEL POSITION

The transition back to a faculty position can be straightforward, according to McClain. He joined the UH system as a professor in 1991 and later went on to be the dean of the Shidler College of Business before becoming the UH president. “Returning to the faculty was a

smooth transition for me, since I have been a member of the UH Mānoa faculty for 24 years,” McClain said. McClain’s transition was made smooth by his focus of creating innovative educational programs and forging closer connections

She added that those relationships are already established and

are helpful in getting people together to work on university projects. TEACHING OR RESEARCH

Apple’s focus in his position as a professor in the chemistry department is teaching. “My focus right now is teaching … I will be teaching three courses this spring [General Chemistry, Experimental Physical Chemistry and Professional Ethics for Chemists],” Apple said. Apple adds he is fortunate to have colleagues in chemistry that have similar interest in research. His research involves magnetic resonance, a spectroscopy that examines the “spin” of nuclei and electrons, Apple said. In the past he has won three teaching awards and obtained National Science Foundation funding for studio chemistry, a method for teaching general chemistry, according to Apple. Ka Leo O Hawai‘i

Lawsuit could affect UH’s research dollars ALEX BITTER EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

UH researchers might have trouble getting competitive grants if a claim that the university misused part of a $1.2 million grant is true. The lawsuit, ﬁled by UH Chemistry Professor Ralf Kaiser Sept. 30, says UH breached a provision of a grant by using some of the money earmarked for a tenure-track position for machinery in an astrophysics lab – a violation that Kaiser says could

Services. The grants subsidized research on topics ranging from how Hawaii can prepare for natural disasters to the development of the state’s rural workforce. MAINTAINING A “CUTTING EDGE”

Kaiser said it’s “very unusual” for a research university to deviate from its planned use of grant funding without seeking approval from the granter. While he said that organizations that award grants have to evaluate research projects on a case-

tarnish UH’s reputation when its faculty apply for funding in the future. “It is a bad idea to take away promised funding from active research units and from active research groups,” he said in an email to Ka Leo. “We are severely worried that the lack of common sense of some of the administrators will derail future funding for UH.” Collectively, researchers at UH won about $410 million in funding during ﬁscal year 2013, according to the university’s Ofﬁce of Research

by-case basis, they “have no legal ramiﬁcations for not accepting applications” from a university. That disadvantage could affect the money that UH faculty get in an already cutthroat, complex application process, Kaiser said. “We have to submit an increased number of grant applications throughout the year while simultaneously conducting state-of-the-art and high-impact research to maintain the cutting edge in the ﬁeld,” he said.

UH administrators declined to comment on the speciﬁcs of Kaiser’s case, but Brian Taylor, UH Mānoa’s interim vice chancellor for research, said the university has “sound administrative and ﬁscal practices” that govern funding from outside of the university. But Vassilis Syrmos, vice president for research at the UH System, said a drop in grant money from federal sources has forced faculty and the University of Hawai‘i Foundation – the main organization that manages money awarded to UH from outside of it – to focus on private funding. Those private sources include the

Keck Foundation, which awarded Kaiser his $1.2 million grant. “There has been a concerted effort between faculty, administrators and the University of Hawai‘i Foundation to identify new opportunities through private foundation funding due in part to the absence of federal grant funding,” Syrmos said. The grant named in the lawsuit was awarded to Kaiser in 2008 by the Keck Foundation to set up a lab to study the evolution of the solar system. The application process examined a variety of factors related to stability at the university. Under Keck’s guidelines at the

time, for example, Kaiser said he and his team had to wait a year to submit their first grant proposal because Mānoa didn’t have a permanent chancellor. “The competition was very fierce,” he said. Keck did not respond to multiple requests for comment from Ka Leo, but the foundation’s requirements for submitting a grant proposal included “full, certified, audited financial statements” and a complete list of individuals serving on the university’s governing board and in governing positions.

Education central in bid for presidential library DAVID HERMAN SPECIAL ISSUES EDITOR

In its final bid to attract the Obama Presidential Library, the University of Hawai‘ i is collaborating with the University of Chicago to bring an education-focused portion of the project to Kaka’ako. “You won’t find in most presidential centers an education component as central as you find in our proposal. And that’s what we’re hoping in many ways will attract President Obama to Hawai‘ i,” said Patricia Halagao, co-director of the UH Presidential Center Initiative (UHPCI). Under plan, the University of Chicago would house the Presidential Library and Museum, while Hawai‘i would be home to a leadership academy for children grades K-12 and a convening institute. A similar situation previously occurred when President Bill Clinton placed his museum and library in his home state of Arkansas and the offices for his charitable non-government organization (NGO) the Clinton Foundation, in New York City, according to Hawai’i News Now. “It’s always been our intent to look at this as a collaborative process with Chicago; in the aloha spirit of Hawai‘i we always thought

that there could be two complementary centers that present his vision,” Halagao said. PLANS FOR UH’S PROGRAMS

Although the leadership academy is intended for K-12, Halagao also spoke of big plans for collaborative UH programs centered around grassroots community organizations. “What we want to do is create some sort of program for university-level students to be able to give them the skills, the mindset and the experiences where they can do that kind of work in the community,” she said. “Basically taking a student’s passion, an interest, a passion around a particular issue and then helping them develop those skills to help mobilize people around these issues and ideas. … There really aren’t that many programs out there that exist with that kind of model. “ “There might be public policy or more discipline-oriented fields. … but in terms of them taking it to the next level — a very focused certificate, a master’s program around community organizing — that’s one idea that we have in terms of creating a specific program at the higher education level.” UH would take the lead on this,

according to Halagao, as it would be part of a degree program, but it would be in conjunction with the Obama Foundation. “And so there would deﬁnitely be an inﬂuence by President Obama and his staff as to what this program would look like,” she said.

district, according to Halagao “One of the ideas of the leadership academy and overall our presidential center vision is to be in concert with the community,” Halagao said. “The idea is that there are already so many quality and successful educational leadership type programs in that area. …

“We always thought that there could be two complementary centers that present his vision.” – PATRICIA HALAGO CO-DIRECTOR OF THE UH PRESIDENTAL CENTER INITIATIVE A WATERFRONT LOCATION

According to UHPCI co-director Maxine Burkett, the proposed location in Kaka‘ako has been set aside by the governor in an empty oceanfront lot next to Kaka’ako Waterfront Park. The Kaka’ako community is largely underutilized, but those present have high hopes for the future of the area. With the Children’s Discovery Center, the John A. Burns School of Medicine, the UH Cancer Center, Kupu and 808 Urban already in the area, there are hopes that in adding the presidential center, the area might develop into an education-focused

That entire area is brimming with educational kinds of experiences.” She added that they view the presidential center as being part of the learning district that already exists in the area. “And so we want to be able to then, as the center, help organize these educational experiences so that college students, K-12 students can also experience it in a structured way that promotes leadership and community organizing,” Halagao said. Addressing concerns regarding UH’s current ﬁnancial crisis, Burkett said that UH would not stand alone taking on this project.

“Unlike all the other universities that are involved … the University of Hawai‘ i is very much a part of a partnership in terms of proposing and bidding for the library. It has been supported by the community generally and the state and the city generally as much as it has by the university,” she said. “The university is not holding the primary responsibility, in fact it’s one of a group of very interested, very excited parties that are involved in this process.” With the university’s proposal due in mid-December, Halagao is optimistic of the possibilities the presidential center has to offer. She noted that the university is working on an institute for the late Senator Daniel K. Inouye. “ [The] University of Hawai‘ i has also gotten behind this important initiative. We see that the presidential center would be a complementary center to the DKI Institute here in Hawai‘ i,” she said. “The key thing I hope you walk away with is this idea of partnership and collaboration not just with Chicago, but with what is already existing here in Hawai‘ i. If we can use the center to raise everybody up, that’s always been the goal.” Ka Leo O Hawai‘i

Hawai‘ i DOH monitoring Ebola as first case in U.S. is confirmed MCT CAMPUS 

Individuals who had contact with Mr. Duncan are being monitered by health officals, according to the Washington Post. FADI YOUKHANA MANAGING EDITOR

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) officials confirmed on Sept. 30 the first patient to be diagnosed with the Ebola virus in a U.S. hospital. Locally, a patient was put into isolation in Queen’s hospital, but officials later confirmed that the patient did not appear to have symptoms of Ebola. When asked on Sept.30, the Hawai‘i Department of Health (HDOH) told Ka Leo that it has been keeping a close eye on the Ebola outbreak. “We have been in touch with CDC and fellow state and local health

departments to ensure that we are apprised of events and latest guidance,” deputy state epidemiologist Melissa Viray said via email. Although the virus is not considered to be a threat to the Hawaiian Islands, the HDOH is monitoring air travel. “We maintain close ties with airport officials of Honolulu International Airport as well as healthcare partners throughout the state to ensure that HDOH is alerted of severely ill travelers from abroad, not just to monitor for Ebola but also for other infectious diseases such as measles and Chikungunya,” Viray said. The first confirmed case in a U.S.

hospital, later identiﬁed by his family as Thomas Dunan, is currently in critical condition. According to reports from the CDC, as of Oct. 3, there have been a total of 7,470 cases and 3,431 deaths in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone. This outbreak is considered by many to be the worst outbreak of the Ebola virus in West Africa. “This is the ﬁrst time that the disease has established itself into very crowded, unhygienic urban slum areas where propagation of the virus is much easier than under rural village conditions,” said John Berestecky, a microbiology professor at Kapi'olani Community College who has visited Liberia.

According to Berestecky, countries such as Liberia and Sierra Leone have weak health care systems, which contribute to the rapid spread of the disease. “Meanwhile, international health care organizations like the WHO and the U.S.-CDC were complacent and ignored the epidemic until it got out of control,” Berestecky said. The sanitary conditions and the state medical institutes were not up to the standard of combating a deadly virus such as the Ebola disease, according to Berestecky. “They were out of control when I left Liberia in early August and everything I’ve been hearing indicates that conditions have gotten

much worse in the past month,” Berestecky said. The CDC has advised individuals to avoid non-essential travel to Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone, which are the countries that have been affected the most by the virus. “The longest time between exposure to the virus and onset of symptoms is 21 days; to be at risk for infection with Ebola, you must have had contact with the blood or other bodily fluids of a person with Ebola within the last 21 days,” Viray said. According to Viray, individuals in the U.S. do not pose any risk for transmission of Ebola unless they travel to an affected area of Africa, or were exposed to an individual with Ebola within the last 21 days. “Individuals who have not recently traveled to those countries are extremely unlikely to have Ebola as the cause of any symptoms of illness,” Viray said.

Law school is recognized for ‘unique’ Native Hawaiian program CHRISTIE GORA CONTRIBUTING WRITER

University of Hawai‘i’s law school is the only place in Hawai‘i to study law, it is also the only place to earn a certiﬁcate in Native Hawaiian law. The William S. Richardson Law School was featured for this program by Prelaw Magazine as one of the top 20 law schools in the country noted for having one of the most unique joint degree programs, according to a University of Hawai‘i press release. According to Melody MacKenzie, the director of the Ka Huli Ao Center for Excellence, this recognition acknowledges the unique law school. “You know there are other law schools that focus on Native Americans or indigenous law, but we’re the only law school that offers anything in relation to Native Hawaiians in particular,” she said. Prelaw Magazine, which reaches more than 60,000 prospective law students across the country, narrowed its list down to the programs that

were the most interesting to show the breadth of joint degree offerings, according to the UH release. According to MacKenzie, the school was surprised when it received this recognition because the law certiﬁcate is only for law

“The law school has always had one or two classes on the native Hawaiian law, but the idea was to begin to bring in a Hawaiian faculty and to work closely into having a program that concentrated on Native Hawaiian law and to bring

students. However, the program does coordinate with the Hawai'inuiākea School of Hawaiian Studies, with students from both programs taking courses at the schools. HOW IT STARTED

The Native Hawaiian Law Certiﬁcate is administered under the law school’s Ka Huli Ao Center for Excellence in Native Hawaiian Law, which came together in 2005 under a Native Hawaiian Education Act grant.

maoli (native) students into the law school, train them to be attorneys and to work for the community,” MacKenzie said. The certificate was originally offered through the Pacific Asian Legal Studies program (PALS) with a concentration on Native Hawaiian law. The certificate became a stand-alone certificate in 2009. Courses on Native Hawaiian law and clinics on the subject are required to receive the certificate.

“Here, there are a lot of Native Hawaiian environmental issues [that] come up through the legislature process through agencies. So we take those courses as kind of foundational,” MacKenzie said. “Our clinics in particular like to be community based. One of our goals is to serve the rural neighbor island communities. It’s future civil law.” With the hopes that the graduating students will give back to the community, MacKenzie wants the Native Hawaiian law program to reﬂect some Native Hawaiian values. “It’s focused on maoli students and the underrepresented communities … That has been really successful in getting more maoli students into getting into law school,” she said. FOCUSING ON NATIVE HAWAIIAN LAW

Receiving a certiﬁcate in Native Hawaiian law shows a student’s commitment that he or she has undertaken a speciﬁc course of study on native Hawaiian issues. “It’s very helpful for employers to

know that that particular student has focused on Native Hawaiian law,” she said. “It’s just important from our perspective to know that we’re training the next generation of Native Hawaiian attorneys who will help advance Native Hawaiian causes.” Raeanne Cobb-Adams, a Native Hawaiian law certiﬁcate graduate said the professors in the program are well respected and very accomplished. “It’s amazing and an honor to learn from them,” she said. Cobb-Adams said the program helped her become focused on Native Hawaiian studies and remember to give back to the Native Hawaiian communities. “It’s a law school that I was fortunate [of],” Cobb-Adams said.

Say yes to sexual consent Why the ‘yes means yes’ law is necessary for college campuses NICHOLAS CHAGNON CONTRIBUTING COLUMNIST

The recent arrest of a University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa student for sexual assault on campus and the university’s ongoing efforts to construct a new consent policy and ensure Title IX compliance have made sexual assault one of the most urgent issues facing our campus today. Because of this, it’s important for students to consider afﬁrmative consent policies, otherwise referred to as “yes means yes” standards, and voice their support for them. SEXUAL ASSAULT AT MĀNOA AND OTHER CAMPUSES

Sexual assault is among the most common violent crimes that occur on college campuses. A 2009 study by the United States Department of Justice estimated that as many as one in five college women experience attempted or completed sexual assault during their university careers. Furthermore, there is little evidence to suggest sexual assault has become less common since the 1990s when it became widely recognized as a serious issue. Recently, a Mānoa freshman appeared in court to be arraigned on charges that he raped another student near Johnson Hall around 5 a.m. on Sunday, Sept. 25. However, Mānoa students were never notified of the incident. Speaking about the recent assault, women’s studies professor Meda Chesney-Lind said, “I’m alarmed to discover that our policy allows a student to be not only arrested, but GINA FERAZZI / MCT CAMPUS  also charged, with sexual assault California Gov. Jerry Brown signed Bill and remain in the dorms.” There have been five reported 967 on Sunday Sept. 28.

MAN ON THE STREET

sexual assaults this year at Mānoa, but it is estimated that 90 percent of these incidents are not reported. That would mean that Mānoa has actually seen 50 sexual assaults on campus this year. UH Mānoa, just like any other campus, must address sexual assault. Crafting a well-informed consent policy is an integral part of that response. WHAT IS ‘YES MEANS YES’?

The California legislature recently passed State Bill 967, which requires that state colleges adopt an affirmative consent policy, sometimes known as a “yes means yes” standard. Affirmative consent requires that both parties in a sexual encounter must obtain clear, affirmative

likelihood of false accusations and criminalizes normal (read non-communicative) male sexuality. There are no reliable estimates for the frequency of false accusations; scholarly estimates range from 1.5 to 90 percent of rape accusations being false. However, the most careful studies have found that they are uncommon, but still a signiﬁcant problem. American justice is rife with failures, and it would be a mistake to simply dismiss concerns surrounding false accusations. False accusations do happen, and they can wreak havoc. The infamous story of three Duke lacrosse players falsely accused of rape in 2007 is a stark example of that. On the other hand, there is lit-

consent, and continue to obtain consent as an encounter progresses through various stages (caressing, oral sex, intercourse, etc.). The absence of a no, a lack of resistance or a yes given while intoxicated does not count as consent. Furthermore, consent can be withdrawn at any point during an encounter. However, California’s policy does not require explicit verbal consent; body language can be considered an indicator of consent. CRIMINALIZING SEX AND FALSE ACCUSATIONS

Many conservative voices have raised concerns about afﬁrmative consent, claiming it increases the

tle reason to believe affirmative consent policies encourage false accusations. They do not institute a presumption of guilt as some critics falsely claim by shifting the burden of proof on the accused. Affirmative consent relies on a preponderance of evidence standard to determine the presence of consent. We should not condemn affirmative consent because of false accusation concerns. Some have also argued that non-communicative sex is normal, and that affirmative consent policies criminalize such acts. First, even a student familiar with sex would tell you that there is no such thing as normal sex.

Second, we must acknowledge that afﬁrmative consent is a college disciplinary standard, not a criminal statute. It doesn’t criminalize anything. Finally, such critics’ arguments boil down to assertions that normalizing communicative sex will de-romanticize the moment. Simple logic would dictate that clear communication would make sex more enjoyable, not worse. “No I don’t want you to do that, but I really like it when you touch me there,” doesn’t sound so bad, does it? What does it say about American society that we do not take issue with being bombarded daily by sexualized images, but balk at the notion of talking during sex? Conservative critics of afﬁrmative consent are generally ill-informed, misguided efforts to reassert a patriarchal status quo that has done violence to women and men for centuries. AN AFFIRMATIVE ‘YES’

Affirmative consent policies are not a cure-all for sexual assault on college campuses. No law or policy is perfect, and determining the presence of consent is still a sticky business for disciplinary boards. But, “yes means yes” is an important step in the right direction. This policy redefines institutional rules to better reflect the reality of sexual assault by eradicating the idea that consent can be assumed in the absence of physical or verbal resistance. However, it encourages communication between partners, which will make sex safer and more enjoyable for everyone.

Scot’s avoid uncessary financial risk with “No” vote.

Scottish verdict highlights problems with Hawaiian independence JASON SASAN CONTRIBUTING WRITER

In the wake of Scotland’s decision to remain under the Union Jack, debates in other regions of the world considereing independence will surely intensify. From Quebec to the Middle East to here in the U.S, nationalists have long campaigned for the right to deﬁne their own borders. Yet, for many independence enthusiasts, including those here at home, the Scots’ “No” vote should serve as a sobering reality check. ‘YES’ VOTE PROVED TOO COSTLY

Like any divorce, Scotland’s would have been a pricey event. According to surveys, the determining factor in Scotland’s referendum was the economy. Already a net drain on United Kingdom’s tax revenue, many in the region were concerned independence would send the economy into a recession.

With institutions like the Royal Bank of Scotland publicly acknowledging they would have moved their base of operations in order to stay in the U.K. I’m inclined to agree. A host of other unanswered questions made a sovereign Scotland even less feasible. For one, entrance into the European Union was looking increasingly unlikely, which carries heavy tax implications. Another issue was what to do about the United Kingdom’s collective debt. Does an independent Scotland pay its proportional share? Does it reimburse Britain for the many millions invested in Scottish infrastructure? Now, the northern reaches of the British Isles are not impoverished by any means, but that’s not the point. For the average individual, unnecessary risk is a big ﬁnancial no. People often say things like “You vote with your dollar,” and though that statement often refers to the

merit of a product, it’s no less accurate in this situation. Anyway you slice it, independence promised an undesirable lightening of Scots’ wallets. In Hawai‘ i, with its infamously high cost of living, the U.S States military is our second largest

That’s not to discard the concerns of the Hawaiian independence movement. It’s pretty clear that when an internationally recognized monarch signs a document under

If a referendum did pass, it’s hard to imagine the United States simply cutting everyone off, all of a sudden, with no help in establishing something similar. However, I agree whole-heartedly with the sentiment: At the end of the day, the negatives far outweigh the positives.

OTHER ANSWERS AVAILABLE

There’s no denying reclaiming autonomy would revitalize native Hawaiian culture, but at the same time, it’s equally liable to destroy the Hawaiian economy. Other, less detrimental roads to recovery are available, many of which rely somewhat ironically on federal funding. The Pūnana Leo Movement is a great example of this. Twenty-one public schools throughout the state conduct their curriculum in Hawaiian, giving hundreds of students the opportunity to preserve their culture without sacriﬁcing contemporary knowledge. Proper management to assuage the concerns of Hawai‘ i’s independence movement is no easy thing. There are decades of grievances, and any positive gains will be hard fought and incremental. But at least these things are achievable. Sovereignty? Decidedly less so. Ka Leo O Hawai‘i

The ugly truth about local foods KRISTEN PAUL BONIFACIO OPINIONS EDITOR

There is no better place in Hawai‘ i where cultural diversity can be seen than in our local cuisine. Dishes such as chicken katsu, spam musubi, shave ice and malasadas remind us of how lucky we are here in Hawai‘ i. But although we are proud of them, the truth is that many of them are unhealthy.

ROBYN DIXON / MCT CAMPUS 

The unique cuisine of our state can be attributed to early plantation era when foreigners —mostly from Korea, Japan, China and the Philippines — were brought to Hawai‘ i to work on the plantation fields. Over the years, the interaction among these ethnic groups has led to a mixture of their language, culture and cuisine which is evident in the name of our local dishes and in the concept of plate lunches today.

Editor’s Note: Simeon S. Wiakanty is a student in the Department of Mass Communication at the University of Liberia’s Fendell campus. The university is located about 19 miles from Monrovia, the Liberian capital, in a region with one of the highest concentrations of Ebola cases in the West African nation. Since the outbreak of Ebola in West Africa, especially Liberia, the affected countries have been encountering many challenges in the fight against the deadly virus. Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia and Nigeria are countries that have been affected. Some of these countries, like Nigeria, have partially controlled the virus through a systematic approach. But here in Liberia, despite the international support, conditions continue to deteriorate. Ordinary Liberians who had hope that the government could do well in the fight have yet to see improvement in conditions here. In fact, the government has yet to achieve any meaningful control of the disease despite a series of strategies put in place in recent time to control the virus. The arrival of U.S. military personnel in the country, however, has brought hope to Liberians, since they have provided supplies and skills that the Liberian government has not. Prior to the arrival of the first U.S personnel in the country, Liberians

had been disappointed in the government for its limited role in the fight against the virus. Instead, they gave credit to neighboring countries like Nigeria that have found more — if still limited — success controlling the virus. While it is true that some level of seriousness has been shown amongst officials in fighting the Ebola virus, there exist too many questions that cannot be ignored: What has been the government

address the major problems. Prior to the arrival of the U.S. Marines in Liberia, the government, in the wake of the high death rate, put in place what it called the ‘’Ebola Task Force’’ (ETF). The ETF, which was organized and spearheaded by President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf to quickly address emergency cases, has since failed to adequately respond to the situation in affected areas. At the same time, health work-

Despite millions of dollars received from donors for health care services, simple things like medical supplies, ambulances and other equipment to enhance the fight remain in short supply. Today, the issue of Ebola in Liberia posses a large economic threat to citizens. Even with the presence of local and international NGOs, the business community and other sympathizers here, buttressing the government effort to create awareness, more Liberians remain ignorant to the virus and as a result, the death rate is on the rise. Considering the social and economical effect that the virus has on citizens, the government has yet to

ers who are on the front line in the fight against the virus have been on strike for weeks, demanding that the Liberian government increase their salary, insurance and other related benefits. The workers said that their lives are at risk in the fight against Ebola. As such, there should be a satisfactory salary structure put in place by the government to make them pro-active in the fight. Despite their late arrival in the game, the presence of the U.S. and other able countries is the best hope that the virus will be controlled and people will soon see their children going back to school and life improve.

The estimated calorie need for a 22-year old male, who is moderately active, is around 2,700, and about 2,100 for women, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Although this might sound like a lot, considering the portions and serving size of plate lunch — a scoop of macaroni salad, two scoops of rice and an entrée — a person can easily consume half of their estimated calorie need in one sitting. I understand that unless it’s fruits or vegetables, a dish will have an unhealthy aspect to it. But considering the levels of fats, oils, salt and sugar in our local dishes, and how favored and how often they are consumed, they pose a great risk to our well-being. A favorite choice of entrée for many locals is chicken katsu, and it takes the top spot as the most famous local dish here in our islands. A stop at Zippy’s, L&L or any other restaurants serving local dishes during lunchtime will reveal how popular it is. When I see this popular deepfried breaded dish, all I see is the high saturated fat content, and my cholesterol level skyrocketing above the roof. Also, chicken katsu is deep-fried in oil that has probably been used over and over again, which makes it the unhealthiest local favorite. The breading accounts for half of the entrée, and ingesting all that fried breading is detrimental to a person’s cholesterol level. Taking

into account our society’s obsession with fast food and French fries, our health is jeopardized. Consuming fried foods that are greasy and high in oil is a risk factor for high cholesterol. And having high cholesterol has been linked to increased risk for stroke and heart disease, according to the National Stroke Association. This assumption is based not only on factual information, but also my experience when my father’s obsession with chicken katsu resulted in his cholesterol and blood pressure reaching unhealthy levels, as was informed by his physician. One of our state’s famous dessert dishes is malasadas. Anyone who has ever eaten one will know its sweet and creamy custard filling. The first time I tried it, its taste elated my mouth and I felt as if my spirit had left my body and had gone to the heavens. However, similar to chicken katsu, malasadas are deep-fried which means they are nothing but balls of saturated fats, oil and sugar. And soon after I had consumed two, I felt as if I had eaten a tablespoon of pure sugar. Similarly, shave ice, kalua pig, spam musubi and other local favorites are also ridden with unhealthy ingredients. Eating shaved ice is eating artificially flavored and colored syrup, and other local entrees are high in fat and salt content. PREVENTING GOOD AND HEALTHY LIFESTYLES

According to the Department of Health, more than half of adults living in Hawai‘ i are overweight or obese. Furthermore, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) stated in a 2012 report that about 8 percent of Hawai‘ i’s population has been diagnosed with diabetes. Although this might appear to be a low number, that is equivalent to about eighty thousand residents living with the condition. I understand why these local dishes are close to the hearts of our island’s residents. They grew up eating them, and they are a reflection of our state’s past and unique culture. However, with processed foods and artificial food substitutes so plentiful today, achieving and living a healthy lifestyle is difficult. Our local dishes, although they may be delicious, are nothing more than poor food choices — especially if they are consumed consistently, as is the case with many locals.

Refugees or not? Children at the border Fleeing their home for a chance of a better life.

TIM JOHNSON / MCT CAMPUS 

Children who come to the U.S. from Central America are often fleeing violence, rape and other problems associated with drug trafficking. CLAUDIA LARA CONTRIBUTING COLUMNIST

Over the summer I visited a friend in Indio, California. As a town situated about 98 miles from the U.S.-Mexico border, the topic of immigration is relevant to the area. My friend, who works for a local church, told me about those who had recently been coming in for aid. “Children,” she said, “Most from El Salvador, Guatemala and Hon America. The media has criminalized these children, calling them illegal immigrants. However, we should see them as refugees. According to her, earlier that day, a pair of brothers from El Salvador, ages 10 and 14, stopped at a church. The 14-year-old had an amputated leg and crossed Guatemala, Mexico and the U.S.-Mexico desert on crutches with his little brother. On their journey they were beaten, robbed, sexually assaulted and suffered from starvation and dehydration. “They almost didn’t make it. Do you really think two kids, one without a leg, would go through these lengths, unless they were truly ﬂeeing?” my friend Lupita Jimenez said. THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION

Since the beginning of the 2014 ﬁscal year, about 66,000 unaccompanied children have been apprehended at the U.S.-Mexico border, around 50,000 of them from Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador. Our media have in turn focused

on what brings these children to the U.S. – the Obama administration’s lax treatment of undocumented immigrants, particularly children; promises of immigration reform and welfare that undocumented immigrants can rely on once they arrive. This, however, is all false rhetoric. Between 2008 and 2012 the Obama administration deported an average of 395,689 people per year. In comparison, under the George W. Bush administration, there was an average of 251,567 deportations a year. With this pattern, Obama will be the president who has deported more people than any other command-

66,000 UNACCOMPANIED CHILDREN HAVE BEEN APPREHENDED AT THE U.S.-MEXICO BORDER

er-in-chief by the end of his term. In the same way, Barack Obama has failed to keep his promises of immigration reform. Despite assurances to act on immigration policy by the end of this summer, the Obama administration has delayed executive action on immigration reform until after the November congressional elections. The popular belief that undocumented people ride off America’s welfare system without paying taxes is false information. To beneﬁt from

welfare programs, such as food stamps, a person must be a citizen of the U.S. – a privilege undocumented immigrants don’t have. However, according to the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy, undocumented immigrants have paid $10.6 billion in local and state taxes, and under a reformed system could pay an additional $2.2 billion. Therefore, the argument that undocumented immigrants exploit our system is nothing more than an effort to push for anti-immigration policies and sentiments, displayed now in our current debate on Central American refugee children. FLEEING THEIR HOME COUNTRY

Rampant violence, poverty and corruption bring these kids ﬂeeing to the U.S. Honduras stands as the murder capital of the world, with 85 to 91 homicides per 100,000 people. Over the summer, it was reported that since 2005, the murder of women and girls has increased 346 percent, and by 292 percent for men and boys. El Salvador also has the second highest murder rates for countries not at war - higher now than when the country was in civil war. And in Guatemala, as a result of their 36-year civil war, an entire generation of men was taught that rape is a “generalized and systemic practice carried out by state agents as a counterinsurgency strategy,” normalizing this violence against women. Just last year, 61,000 girls between the ages of 10 and 19 became pregnant, many of who are victims of rape.

The heightened levels of violence are attributed to drugs and the growing power of gangs. Mexico’s crackdown on drug cartels has moved the Zetas’ cartel into Guatemala. Together with Guatemalan street gangs, the Zetas now control the northern part of Guatemala and are quickly sweeping the country. Children and youth fear for their lives when leaving their homes. Going to school has become a question of life or death, and the corruption within the nation prevents these minors from having protection and a safe environment. In Honduras, 2009 marked the beginning of new drug trade routes established by Colombian drug trafﬁckers, turning the nation into the central handover point for cocaine to Mexican cartels. Today, 75 percent of all U.S.-bound cocaine passes through Honduras. In El Salvador, the increased deportation of MS-13 and 18th Street gang members to the country has let loose a new breed of gang members. They target adolescent boys for gang recruitment, beating them when they refuse to join and threatening to rape adolescent girls when they refuse to become gang “girlfriends.” SEEKING REFUGEE STATUS

Due to these realities, the United Nations (U.N.) has sought a refugee label for the unaccompanied minors seeking asylum in the U.S. and surrounding nations. It is important to note that this humanitarian crisis has also affected Mexico, Belize,

Panama and Nicaragua who have all seen a 712 percent increase in total asylum requests since 2009. The American response was removal. And when news of Central American kids being murdered after their deportation reached the international community, these children began to be dealt with in terms of asylum. Here in Hawai‘ i, when eight minors from July of this year were discharged from the unaccompanied alien children program to sponsors in Hawai‘ i, the news was met with the similar ignorance and racism many have taken up in the Mainland. Time and time again, I found comment sections full of hate speech claiming Central American kids were disease ridden, that this was a part of a larger plan of invasion and that the claim of refugee status was made up as a tactic used to get a free ticket to Hawai‘ i. Former representative Charles Djou, running as the Republican candidate for senator of Hawai‘ i, stated that if children in Central America hear they could get a free trip to Hawai‘ i from the American government, more might cross the border illegally. I say that no child would run the risk of a 1,500-mile journey to the U.S. from El Salvador, Honduras or Guatemala for a free plane ride to our Aloha State. Maybe these children really are just refugees, and it’s time we start referring to them as such. Ka Leo O Hawai‘i

LYLE AMINE / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

Originally done near mid filed, the warriors now perform the haka in their endzone to avoid penalties.

The power of the haka Rooted in tradition, camaraderie and Polynesian culture KEOLA KALUHIOKALANI CONTRIBUTING WRITER

It’s a sunny Saturday afternoon at Aloha Stadium and the Rainbow Warriors are warmed up and ready for kickoff. Before heading into the locker room for final pep talks from the coaches and captains, juniors Harold Moleni and Lance Williams gather the team together on the field. The two leaders instantly become the focus of every member on the team and as one unified body they bend their knees, get into their kapa haka, also known as haka lines, and begin to methodically pound their pads. TRADITION

College football is more than a game – it is a lifestyle, a culture and an honored tradition. The roots of college football run deep in many parts of the country.

Entwined in these roots are traditions passed on by fans, coaches, players, administrators and communities. Some are old, some are new, but none are alike. Whether it’s the Sooner Schooner storming onto the ﬁeld after every Oklahoma score or Notre Dame

ancestors to lend the team their mana, also translated as power, as they prepare for the upcoming confrontation. BACKGROUND

The haka is a Māori war cry and dance traditionally used on the battleﬁeld as a way for a tribe to show strength, unity and to intimidate their opponent. It is a sacred ritual that the Warriors adopted to their pre-game routine in 2006. With its record-breaking offense led by Heisman hopeful Colt Brennan at quarterback and the team’s appearance in the 2008 Allstate Sugar Bowl, both Hawai‘ i and the haka received national media attention. In 2007 the team was even penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct because of the intimidating nature of the war cry. As a result, the Rainbow Warriors have since been especially delicate with the handling of their pregame tradition. Tight end Harold Moleni, a native of New Zealand and one of the players charged with leading the team in the haka, has an even greater understanding and appreciation for its signiﬁcance. “Originally the haka was done

to prepare for war. To hype up the tribe. It’s the same thing here when we do it we do it to prepare for war,” Moleni said. “Luckily we have a team that’s really respectful of it and takes it seriously. Anything less than that would be disrespectful.” MOTIVATION

Football is played with high emotions. In many cases it is not the team with more skill that wins, but the team that feeds off the emotional energy of its players and uses that energy to defeat its opponent. Finding a way to create that contagious energy can be a difficult task that causes teams to struggle. For the Rainbow Warriors, the haka is the answer to this problem. In one short two-versed chant, it unifies over a hundred football players and the fans who support them. Defensive captain Beau Yap attributes much of the energy the team plays with to the haka. “It changes the mood of whole the team. It gets us in that mindset of we’re going to battle or just in a great mindset for the game and I really enjoy it,” Yap said. The specific haka the team has chosen to use, Tika Tonu, is especially intriguing. The haka used by the All Blacks and other sports teams in New Zealand is the Ka Mate, which focuses on death and striking fear into the opponent. In contrast, Tika Tonu focuses on a more positive message. It is about challenges, struggles, perseverance and achievement. For a Rainbow Warrior squad that has gone 6-24 under the leadership of head coach Norm Chow, the concepts of challenges, struggles and perseverance are all too familiar. Ka Leo O Hawai‘i

BLAKE'S TAKE

THE BEST IN THE WEST Me the teams that Hawai‘i willl Meet comp compete with in the Mountain West st S A N J O S E S TAT E ( 2 -3 )

U TA H S TAT E ( 3 -2 )

San Jose State’s 1-3 start may look disheartening, but there’s reason for optimism. The Spartans have put together a solid defensive effort despite a brutal opening schedule that saw them in back-to-back road tilts against Auburn and Minnesota. Though the offense has struggled mightily to replace star quarterback David Fales, producing a scant 18 points per game in his absence, their 39th ranked defense has allowed just 345 yards per game, including a fantastic effort against Nevada in which they yielded only 256 total yards. Though the Spartans’ second-ranked pass defense numbers are inflated after facing a Minnesota team that threw the ball only seven times, it has been impressive in other contests. San Jose State isn’t ready to repeat last year’s success, but they will cause problems for other teams in the conference.

BLAKE TOLENTINO WEB SPECIALIST

Forget the early season blowouts, thrilling upsets and disappointing losses. In college football, the conference season changes everything, and the Mountain West is no different for Hawai‘i. In anticipation of the conference season, here’s an introduction to the teams Hawai‘i fans will see compete against each other for the right to hoist the championship trophy at the end of the season.

Utah State enters the conference slate as one of the favorites to take the conference. Despite a pair of losses to quality programs in Tennessee and Arkansas, Utah State is a Mountain West team that looks most likely to repeat last season’s success. The offense will struggle to adapt to losing star QB Chuckie Keeton for the season to yet another injury, but the defense is as solid as ever, allowing only 335 yards per game, and backup QB Darrell Garretson was an adequate ﬁll-in last season. Garretson isn’t the dynamic runner that Keeton was, but is a competent game manager who shouldn’t throw away many games. The Aggies sport the best defense in the Mountain West and should pull to the head of the conference in light of Boise State’s recent struggles.

N E VA DA ( 3 -1 )

S A N D I E G O S TAT E ( 2 -3 )

Just a year removed from a 4-8 season last year, Nevada appears to be back on track with a 3-1 start. Their only loss came on the road from undefeated Arizona in a game decided in the ﬁnal three minutes. Nevada has exhibited their typical run-heavy attack, electing to keep it on the ground on 61 percent of their snaps. Quarterback Cody Fajardo has been accurate, completing 68 percent of his passes so far this season. Unfortunately for the Wolfpack, the yards haven’t been there. Nevada is averaging 40 less yards per game compared to 2013, despite playing a slate of mediocre defenses to start the season. Although the offense looks familiar, the decline in production could be a sign of a rougher season than should be expected of a team with Nevada’s record.

The biggest concern surrounding the Aztecs focused on how they would replace star running back Adam Muema, whose brilliant ﬁnal season and subsequent combine performance tagged him as a potential NFL star before his mysterious withdrawal from football and the public eye. Speedy sophomore Donnel Pumphrey has delivered in a big way, rushing for 6.2 yards per carry after assuming lead running back duties. San Diego State has also ﬁelded one of the better defenses in the Mountain West, relinquishing only 383 yards per game. If not for the drastic decline in QB Quinn Kaehler’s performance, the Aztecs would also likely own an upset victory over North Carolina. San Diego State looks ready to make a return trip to a bowl game.

C O L O R A D O S TAT E ( 4 -1 )

W YOM I N G (3-2)

U N LV (1-5)

Colorado State is picking up right where it left off from last year’s surprising bowl season. The Rams have opened the season with two victories of Power 5 conference schools on the back of the 28th ranked offense in the nation. Despite losing their top three rushers from last season (including a 1700-yard rusher in Kapri Bibbs), the Rams have effectively platooned their backﬁeld to produce similar production on the ground. Meanwhile, senior QB Garrett Grayson has built off his strong 2013 season, improving his yards per attempt to 8.24. While the defense is not their strength, ranked 105th in the nation allowing 460 yards per game, the offense is running efﬁciently enough to pick up the slack. The Rams are a dark horse candidate to take the Mountain West title and should be back in a bowl game come season’s end.

Wyoming may be 3-2, but its offense is on life support. The Cowboys have managed to top 350 yards just once this season and have yet to produce more than 20 points. In spite of a monster start for running back Shaun Wick, who’s averaging 6.9 yards per carry as the feature back, the Cowboys have struggled to finish drives. Quarterback Colby Kirkegaard has a flair for the dramatic, having led two game-winning drives this season. While Wyoming’s defensive stats suggest a mediocre unit, allowing just over 400 yards per game, they must be taken with a grain of salt given Wyoming’s road trips to Oregon and Michigan State. Wyoming may be in contention for their first bowl bid since the 2011 season, as it faces some of the weaker teams in the conference in Hawai‘i, San Jose State and New Mexico.

UNLV was a surprise bowl team last year, but it is unlikely that will happen again this year. The Rebels have been manhandled by every Football Bowl Subdivision team they’ve faced on their schedule, losing by an average of over 27 points per game. Their lone win was a narrow one against FCS opponent Northern Colorado. Struggling both offensively and defensively, UNLV hasn’t found anyone to replace the production of former QB Nick Sherry and former running back Tim Cornett. Its defense has been giving up 546 yards per game, good for last in the nation. Its offense has produced more turnovers than touchdowns. UNLV is destined to fight to avoid last place in the Mountain West.

F R E S N O S TAT E ( 3 -3 ) Longtime Hawai‘i rival Fresno State is entering rebuilding mode after losing two of its top talents in QB Derek Carr and wide receiver Davante Adams, both of who were selected in the second round of the 2014 NFL draft. To compensate for the loss of such accomplished aerial weapons, the Bulldogs have dialed in a more balanced offense. The Bulldogs have passed on only 51.8 percent of their offensive snaps, down from 62 percent the previous year. Despite the shift in offensive philosophy, the Bulldogs still rank 46th in the nation with 455 yards per game. They have given up 508 yards per game to the opposition, however, which is third worst in the nation. Despite suffering three early blowouts to strong competition, the Bulldogs could be a bowl team if they can ﬁx some of their defensive liabilities.

When asked about the conference season for Hawai‘i after the team's loss to Rice on Saturday, head coach Norm Chow remarked on what could be a fresh start. “That’s what I told our players. We’re 0-0 and none of these games matter. We have a tough conference schedule but I think we can compete with them.”

sports@kaleo.org @kaleosports GROWING THROUGH FAITH

Moleni embarked on a two-year mission after graduating from Hunter High School in 2008. The trip meant that Moleni would have to sacriﬁce playing football for a while, but the lessons learned during that two-year period have been invaluable to Moleni. “Personally, it’s helped me to mature, and it’s helped me to focus on what’s truly important in life,” Moleni said. “But most importantly, it’s given me conﬁdence to

one else on the team catches the ball, then that’s what matters. It doesn’t matter who catches or who scores. It matters that we catch the ball and score.” That type of selﬂessness has certainly rubbed off on his teammates, and helped build a positive reputation among his coaches. “It’s so impressive,” Hagan said. “We as coaches are always preaching stuff like that: doing what the team needs. And our guys have taken that on, and

“He’s deﬁnitely a mature, wise person. ... He does a good job of giving away some of that wisdom and helping the other guys.” – SPENCER HAGAN FOOTBALL GRADUATE ASSISTANT

Moleni is a two-time academic all-MWC selection, earning the honor as both a freshman and a sophomore.

From missions to Mānoa Harold Moleni shows his strength through faith and family JEREMY NITTA, SENIOR STAFF WRITER

To call Harold Moleni a seasoned veteran is an understatement. As the starting tight end for the Rainbow Warrior football team, Moleni has experienced a lot in his life aside from donning a helmet and shoulder pads every Saturday in the fall. From traveling around the world to representing his faith on a two-year mission, the junior has seen more than his average classmate. CHANGING CULTURES

Although his hometown is listed as West Valley City, Utah on UH’s website, he was actually born in Hamilton, New Zealand. Following his graduation from high school, Moleni moved to Spokane, Wash-

ington for his church mission before ﬁnally traveling over 2,500 miles to Hawai‘ i. “I’ve learned a lot,” Moleni said. “I think that what’s been beneficially for me is that when you’re more culturally rounded, you’re able to blend and interact with more different types of people. And especially on this team, you know we’re the most culturally diverse in the nation. That’s helped big time, being able to talk to all the guys and bond.” That cultural experience has benefitted Moleni, whom many on the team view as one of its leaders. Players from all corners of the U.S. are on the roster, as well as multiple nationalities from Hawai‘ i and a handful of players from American Samoa. Moleni’s biggest cultural con-

tribution stems from his leadership role in the team’s pre-game haka. The haka is a traditional Maori war dance from New Zealand, and is something that Moleni embraces. The deep cultural value of the haka resonates strongly with Moleni, and as one of the leaders of the haka, he strives to make sure his teammates embrace it as well. “As long as we do it right; that’s been my biggest thing,” Moleni said. “Sometimes, it’s easy for hakas to get changed, or some people forget the words after a while and then it sounds like jibberish. I’m trying to bring it back to what it’s supposed to be. As long as people are doing it right, then I take pride in it. If not, it’s kinda embarrassing, but here we’ve learned it the right way, and it’s being done right.”

aim high. It taught me to set high goals and try to reach them.” When Moleni came to Hawai‘i, he was 22 and married, unlike the average college prospect. But he doesn’t believe his age has affected him negatively at all. If anything, it’s served as an advantage. “I’m not there trying to be like I’m the oldest,” Moleni said. “I’m just trying to be another teammate. If the time comes where I have to lead, then by being older I think I’m able to see what needs to be said and done and where I have to lead. But all in all, it’s football. It comes down to who’s giving their all, and who’s trying to strive to help the team the most.” His maturity has shone through to his coaches, especially his position coach, Spencer Hagan. “He’s deﬁnitely a mature, wise person,” Hagan said. “He’s been through a lot in life. He’s married, has a kid. His maturity level is a lot higher than a lot of the other guys. I think that he does a good job of giving away some of that wisdom and helping the other guys out.” GETTING PRIORITIES STRAIGHT

On the ﬁeld, Moleni’s stats won’t blow anyone away. Despite having the requisite size of a collegiate tight end, Moleni’s role in the offense, at least from a statistical perspective, is minimal. Over his three-year career at UH, Moleni has hauled in a total of 11 receptions for 119 yards and three touchdowns. Across the country, there are many tight ends who can achieve those numbers in a single game. Still, Moleni has never once complained about his lack of numbers, choosing instead to simply embrace an opportunity to help the team succeed. “It’s about just playing your role on the team,” Moleni said. “Linemen have to block, quarterbacks have to throw the ball and the tight ends have to block and catch the ball. If you’re the guy who gets to catch the ball, then that’s great. But if not, as long as some-

really accepted that challenge and really done well.” Hagan, a graduate assistant in charge of the tight ends, went on to praise Moleni – explaining how vital he is to the offense, even though the box score may not reflect it. “I would say that tight ends, in our offense, are more of run-blockers than pass-catchers,” Hagan said. “If we can’t run the ball, then we can’t pass the ball. Harold definitely is key. If he doesn’t get his block at the point of attack, then the whole play could get screwed up. And then everything gets screwed up.” Moleni is also a two-time academic all-MWC selection, earning the honor as both a freshman and a sophomore. The accomplishment is fairly impressive, but Moleni downplays the significance of the feat. “Shoot, I try to tell my teammates it’s really not that hard to get good grades,” Moleni said. “You just have to plan your time out.” Moleni credits his mission trip for helping him develop his strong time-management skills. “Every day was planned out on our mission,” Moleni said. “We had planning sessions every night, and we basically planned out every 30 minutes of our day. So when I plan out my days now, I’m planning out time for school, time for family and time for football. Using your time wisely is a huge benefit to getting the grades that I have.” And overall, Moleni’s performance in all he does has earned him the respect of his coaches. “I think that just shows how mature he is,” Hagan said. “He cares about football, family, the team, the coaches and his school work equally. He’s really a total package when it comes to all aspects of college football. I know I never have to worry about Harold, at all.”

Busy in the community as well as on the court, the UH men’s basketball program took part in another event that encourages literacy on Oct. 1. Head coach Gib Arnold and a few players visited Waikīkī Elementary to show children the importance of reading. This event was one part of coach Arnold’s long-term plan to help raise literacy awareness across O‘ahu. The men’s basketball program has already taken part in three similar events prior to this one. Fans had their ﬁrst glimpse of the 2014-15 UH men’s basketball team on Oct. 4 during its Green & White Scrimmage. Held at the Stan Sheriff Center, the scrimmage was an intra-squad game divided into two 12-minute halves. Players also exhibited their dunking and shooting skills during halftime.

The University of Hawai‘ i baseball team began practice for their 2015 season on Sept. 29. Hawai‘ i baseball’s 2015 recruiting class received national recognition from Collegiate Baseball newspaper as head coach Mike Trapasso hopes to improve on last year’s 22-31 record.

The Hawai‘i women’s volleyball team won backto-back games this week, beating both Cal State Fullerton and the University of California at Irvine, improving their winning streak to six games. In their match on Oct. 3 against Cal State Fullerton, the No. 24 Rainbow Wahine swept the Titans 25-18, 25-19, 25-15 at the Stan Sheriff Center. Kalei Greeley had 10 kills in the match to lead the ‘Bows. The next night, UH women’s volleyball hosted the UC Irvine Anteaters. It was another sweep for the Rainbow Wahine as they defeated UC Irvine 25-17, 25-19, 26-24. Tai Manu-Olevao had 15 kills to lead the Rainbow Wahine. The third set proved to be the toughest for the ‘Bows as UC Irvine led at one point 19-13. The ‘Bows eventually rallied back to win the set 26-24.

The University of Hawai‘ i women’s cross-country team finished 21st at the Stanford University Invitational. Montana Martinez led the Rainbow Wahine with a 6K finish in 24:31 which was good for 233rd place overall. Other Rainbow Wahine who finished were Louise Mulvey (24:39/237th) Alexa Foster (24:44/247th), Hayley Musashi (25:36/289th), Caitlyn Foss (25:50/295th), and Melissa Chadwick (26:28/312nd).

No quarter given MOUNTAIN WEST STANDOFF DAVID MCCRACKEN SENIOR STAFF WRITER

Ranked fourth in the Mountain West Conference in total defense, the University of Hawai‘ i football team will test its grit against the Cowboys of the University of Wyoming, who have only managed 16.4 points per game this season. The Cowboys (3-2, 1-0) are coming off a bye week after being blown out on the road by the Michigan State Spartans by a score of 56-14 on Sept. 27. The Warriors (1-4) will look to replicate the success that they’e had on defense so far this season, ranking ﬁfth in yards allowed in the MWC with an average of 383.2 yards allowed per game. STOPPING THE RUN

The Warriors rank ﬁfth in rush defense, which will be something to watch for against Wyoming running back Shaun Wick, who ranks second in the WMC conference with a 6.9 yard per carry average. Wick ran for 87 yards and a touchdown against the Spartans in his team’s last game, including a 57-yard touchdown run to put the Cowboys on the board. Michigan State ranks second in the Big Ten Conference in rush defense, but were unable to stop Wick from running all over them. Wyoming will also look to stop the running game of the Warriors, led by Steven Lakalaka and Joey Iosefa. Ranked eighth in the MWC with 370 yards rushing, Lakalaka will have the opportunity to punish his opponents as the Cowboys rank seventh in the MWC in rush defense, giving up 196.4 yards per game to its opponents on the ground. THIRD DOWN EFFICIENCY

Hawai‘ i’s defense has the best third down defense in the MWC, allowing its opponents a ﬁrst down 30.4 percent of the time. On the other end of the spectrum, however, the Warriors’ offense converts its third downs 30.0 percent of the time. Hawai‘ i has been unable to continue drives and get into scor-

ing opportunities, ranking 11th in ﬁrst downs per game in the Mountain West. Wyoming has the second-worst third down defense in the MWC, allowing its opponents a ﬁrst down 50.6 percent of the time. Nevertheless, Wyoming’s offense has been more effective on third down conversions than UH, converting its third downs 40.5 percent of the time. RED ZONE WOES

The Warriors have scored on 81.0 percent of their red zone drives, scoring 17 times on 21 possessions. Of those 17 scoring possessions, however, the Warriors have only scored six touchdowns while converting nine field goals in the red zone. Hawai‘ i’s defense — no matter how good it is on third down — has struggled mightily in the red zone. Allowing its opponents a 100 percent scoring record in the red zone, the Warriors have surrendered 13 touchdowns and two field goals to its opponents on 15 red zone drives. The Cowboys found the end zone more often when in the red zone than UH, scoring eight touchdowns to Hawai‘ i’s six. However, the Cowboys rank ninth in the MWC in red zone efficiency, scoring on only 73.3 percent of their 15 possessions. Wyoming’s defense has allowed its opponents 15 touchdowns in the red zone, tied second most in the Mountain West, but has held its opponents to an 80 percent scoring record on 25 possessions.

How Hawai‘i lost the lead for the first time in the fourth quarter, and never got it back MARK LOHDE / KA LEO O HAWAI‘I 

The Rainbow Warriors finished non-conference play with a 1-4 record with the loss to Rice on Saturday. NICK HUTH SPORTS EDITOR

When the Rice Owls scored on a 79-yard touchdown drive with 4:18 remaining in the fourth quarter it was their only lead of the game. Contrary to the ﬁrst 55 minutes of the game, the Rainbow Warrior football team (1-4) was forced to play from behind with time not on its side. When the following drive ended on an incomplete pass from Ikaika Woolsey on fourth-and-two, time ran out on the Warriors, and their chance for their ﬁrst road win in 15 games. “I thought we played hard,” head coach Norm Chow said. “We’re still not playing very smart. Just look forward to the next one.” Before the next one takes place against Wyoming (3-2) on Oct. 11, here

from the Rice defense. The mobile quarterback was sacked seven times throughout the game. The offensive game plan increased Woolsey’s carries as well, with the quarterback rushing 20 times with a 21-yard play as his longest rush. OVER-AGGRESSIVE DEFENSE

The Rainbow Warrior defense had a season-high performance in both sacks and tackles behind the line of scrimmage, which highlighted the aggressive game plan against Rice. But with the aggression came instances of openings in the Hawai‘i scheme which Rice was able to exploit. The ﬁrst opening came in the second quarter after the Warriors allowed just 18 total yards of offense from the Owls. The 7-0 lead from Hawai‘i van-

are the determining factors in the loss in Houston, Texas last weekend. LOWEST OFFENSE OF THE SEASON

Despite the team scoring its second and third passing touchdown of the season, the offense continued to be consistently inconsistent. Hawai‘i mustered 261 yards of offense against Rice (2-3), which is a new season low compared to the 286 yards against Colorado. Woolsey, who threw for more touchdowns on Saturday than his entire career beforehand, completed 12 for 27 passes for 117 yards and an interception. The sophomore quarterback also ran for 101 yards, but ended up netting only 53, with the rest of the yardage being lost behind the line of scrimmage. Part of Woolsey’s struggle in the backﬁeld stemmed from the pressure

ished on an 81-yard pass play from Rice quarterback Driphus Jackson. James Mayden received the pass from Jackson across the middle for a relatively modest gain, but missed coverage from UH allowed the receiver to take the short pass all the way to the end zone. Despite being burned once, the Warrior defense loosened again late in the fourth quarter in what would become the game-winning drive for the Owls. Jackson found another open receiver for a 50-yard pass to set up the touchdown that gave Rice its ﬁrst lead of the game. “We just have to keep working. We lost to a good football team,” Chow said. “That quarterback is a very nice player.” Despite being sacked four times by the Warrior defense, Jackson ﬁnished the game with 284 yards on 10 for 23

passes and an interception to lead his team to victory in the second half. NOT-SO-SPECIAL TEAMS

Coming into the weekend, the Rainbow Warriors were tied for first in the country in total field goals made, but due to a coaching decision and a rare miss, Hawai‘i never put a field goal on the board. The Warriors found themselves in the red zone after a fumbled punt return from Rice, and despite starting the drive in field goal territory, the team came away empty-handed. On fourth-and-13, Norm Chow decided to opt for a fake field goal attempt by rolling out Woolsey from his position as placekick holder. The play went wrong when Woolsey found linebacker T.J. Taimatuia near the line of scrimmage for a pass that gained no yards and gave Rice the ball back due to a turnover on downs. “We have to take chances. We saw something on film that we thought we could do earlier in the week. It’s still early in the game,” Chow said about the decision to go for the touchdown. The next special teams blunder happened when Tyler Hadden, one of the leading kickers in the country, missed a 38-yard field goal attempt as the kick sailed wide left. The miss was the senior’s second failed field goal attempt this season. Scott Harding tallied a pair of receiving touchdowns to aid the Warrior offense, but as the team’s punter, the senior kicked seven punts for an average distance of 36.9 yards. By comparison, Rice averaged 43.8 yards per punt on six attempts. The loss continued the road losing streak that has plagued the program since 2011, but as conference play begins this week, Chow is already looking forward. “We’re 0-0 [in conference play] and none of these game matter. We have a tough conference schedule but I think we can compete with them. We look forward to it.”

Each culture has staples and cuisine that are unique to them. Hawai‘ i has managed to borrow a few foods from every culture in the Pacific. Hawai‘ i wouldn’t be the same kind of paradise without its numerous twists on food classics. Often times, people take one look at local food and reject it without a second thought. The food may look odd, but if reluctant individuals are coerced into taking a bite, they will come back for more. We composed a Top Five list of must-try local foods. The foods have been graded on a “weird scale,” ranging from one to five. One being “This doesn’t look too repulsive” and five being “Is this even edible?”

BLUE TRUCK TEPPANYAKI BRAD DELL FEATURES EDITOR

The broke college student’s Japanese steakhouse – in a truck. There’s no better way to describe Blue Truck Teppanyaki, a food truck parked on University Avenue across from the Architecture Building at UH Mānoa. It’s easy enough to spot; simply look for a food truck that’s, you guessed it, blue. While the truck doesn’t provide teppanyaki shows, it does have the typical menu that would be expected at a Japanese steakhouse. From steak and shrimp to ﬁsh and eggplant, the menu caters to all taste buds, even providing breakfast and vegetarian options. Plates are available in mini and regular sizes, with hefty portions for both. The typical plate comes with meat served on a bed of corn and topped with whatever vegetable is available that day (usually potato, onion or zucchini), alongside two scoops of rice and a cup of teriyaki sauce. The food is heavy and loaded with grease, which may turn off some health-conscious customers. However, the taste makes up for it, and the side of vegetables may shove aside some guilt. Expect at least a 10-minute wait since the food is prepared fresh and don’t expect to make conversation with the chefs, who are usually quiet and absorbed in their cooking. Also, remember the truck only accepts cash.

Shoyu ahi poke may look unappleaing at first sight, but the bagga going broke da mouth.

CRACK SEED

POKE

MANAPUA

SQUID LŪ‘AU

At ﬁrst glance, these dried little nuggets can be a puzzling sight. Crack seed is dried plum, which looks like a shriveled up ball. The name comes from the process of cracking the seed inside to enhance the natural ﬂavor. The seeds come salty, sugary, tangy or fruity depending on your taste. Li hing mui is a popular seed most locals enjoy. Powdered li hing mui is also very popular to sprinkle on fruits, candies and whatever else you want. Tip for beginners: The center of the seed has a little meat in the middle that is quite delicious if you can get to it without breaking your teeth.

Poke is chunks of raw fish or octopus tossed with many different seasonings, depending on the type being served. Limu (seaweed), onions, shoyu, sesame oil and crushed peppers are common key ingredients. Poke is usually present at every gathering as a pūpū, or appetizer. Served as a cold dish, the fish needs to be kept refrigerated before serving. An island favorite poke is spicy ahi, which is a tuna seasoned with small fish eggs, onions, shoyu, mayonnaise, sriracha, ginger and Hawaiian salt.

Just like spam, manapua contains a mystery meat – the sweet, red char siu. The name comes from the Hawaiian phrase “mea‘ ono pua‘a,” meaning “delicious pig.” The meat is packed inside a steamed or baked bun. In Hawai‘ i, manapua is larger in size and comes in many different varieties compared to the Chinese char siu bao. You can ﬁnd manapua with hot dogs, chicken, kalua pig and vegetables.

A mashed mix of squid, coconut milk, taro leaves, garlic and water make up the popular Hawaiian dish, squid lū‘au. The ingredients seem harmless enough, but the sight of this mushy green mess can seem repulsive. If you’re an unsuspecting eater trying this dish for the ﬁrst time, you are in for quite a surprise. The coconut milk sweetens up the dish, which also balances the salt in this Hawaiian plate. Although the chunks of squid may seem questionable at ﬁrst, they quickly make themselves a key player by adding a little more texture to the mix.

Most people outside of Hawai‘i see the block of meat and run away with utter disgust and fear in their eyes. However, they shouldn’t judge until they try a spam musubi. The musubi has three main elements that are essential to the art. The spam is pan-fried, laid on a bed of rice and tucked in beneath a long strip of nori (Japanese dried seaweed). The block of rice down

plays the Spam’s saltiness, and the nori keeps the whole thing together. Some restaurants will add a thin layer of teriyaki sauce, which adds a sweeter taste.

PLOT

The storyline follows Charles Condomine (Timothy Callais), who is driven insane with visits from Elvira (Kyle Scholl), the ghost of his dead first wife, who is only visible to him. His second wife, Ruth (Karissa J. Murrell Myers), is far from pleased about the situation. She spends the majority of the play convincing Madame Arcati (Sharon R. Garcia Doyle), the medium who accidentally summoned the ghost in the first place, to send the spirit away. The first half of the play focuses on the return of Elvira, who enjoys playing tricks on everyone (particularly Ruth) and trying to seduce her former husband. However, it is unclear where the plot is actually headed until things take a darker turn and Elvira’s true motives are revealed. The big twist is a perfect surprise, and causes chaos and a string of melodramatic séances from Madame Arcati. The show lasts for approximately two hours and 45 minutes – which

The play takes place in 1941 England, and it is clear that everyone involved in the production worked diligently to bring the setting to life. The set is elegant, with plenty of draping curtains, towering bookshelves, lavish furniture and the ever-necessary grand piano. I was particularly struck by the

Only Charles managed to articulate in a way that felt natural, although it was clear that everyone else was doing his or her best. Unfortunately, something that was perhaps a side effect of struggling with the accents, many of the lines were rushed, and I had a difﬁcult time catching dialogue that may have been funny had I heard it. HUMOR

Although the show’s comedic style is predominantly wit, there are a couple of exceptions that broaden the range, but also threw things off balance. One such excep-

The big twist is a perfect surprise, and causes chaos and a string of melodramatic séances from Madame Arcati. costumes, especially Ruth’s. The clothes she wore ranged from gowns to relatively casual dresses, but each of them perfectly ﬁt the level of class the character needed to portray. The accents that were deployed greatly enhanced the perception of being dropped into 1941 England. While they were a level of humor unto themselves, it was also clear

tion was Edith (Rachael Uyeno), the maid. She had few lines other than hurried “Yes’m”s, and spent most of her time running too quickly or walking awkwardly as she desperately tried to please the Condomines by efﬁciently completing tasks and keeping up appearances at the same time. Her accent was also quite over-the-top, although it did enhance her character.

The second character that lacked wit but still caused waves of giggles throughout the audience was Madame Arcati. She embodied the stereotypical fortune-teller, decked out in beads, countless scarves and a toothy grin. She was particularly amusing while conducting séances, as she took to making grand gestures and uttering various cawing and purring noises in her attempts to contact the spirit world. Her only ﬂaw was that she occasionally used the same trick too many times and came off as a tad juvenile. However, while not entirely pleasing to me, I am sure that any children in the audience would not have been bored. Charles, Ruth and Elvira were the characters that needed to convey class, and so the majority of their humor stemmed from witty one-liners. Most often, their dialogue consisted of seething insults directed at each other, given the tensions caused by an otherworldly love triangle. The writing was sharp, and I thoroughly enjoyed everything I managed to catch. Save a few bumps along the way, “Blithe Spirit” is a production worth seeing. My complaints about it are few and far between, and I think that many people will ﬁnd their comedic niche somewhere within this play. Ka Leo O Hawai‘i

Pre-Medical Association: students with scalpels and stethoscopes ABBYGAIL SADOY STAFF WRITER

As the largest pre-health organization here at the University of Hawai‘ i at Mānoa, the Pre-Medical Association (PMA) promotes a mission to educate and bring forth a community of Hawai‘ i’s future medical leaders. “It’s an enriching experience,” PMA president Andrea Orcine said. Part of the experience is interacting with fellow future medical professionals. Although the club is called the Pre-Medical Association, a student doesn’t need to be a pre-med student to join. Biology, kinesiology and rehabilitation science (KRS) and nursing majors are among the majority of PMA members. “Even if a student isn’t a prehealth major, if they’re interested in the ﬁeld, they’re welcome to join,”

said. PMA member Marc Uy sai id The club has opportunities for its members to reach active status through a point system that awards attendance in meetings, socials, fundraising and more. One of PMA’s main goals is to “provide its members with events and activities relevant to the ﬁeld of healthcare such as community service and medical education opportunities,” according to the organization’s website. PMA aims to maintain its presence in the community as it has done so in the past. Community service opportunities have ranged from volunteering with March of Dimes, Relay for Life, Adopt-A-School and Teen Health camps to bringing arts and crafts to a local hospital. As future medical professionals, a working knowledge of the industry is key. Medical education is one of PMA’s main duties. Phy-

sicians, nurses, researchers, army surgeons and a psychiatry panel have made speaking appearances at general meetings. Members

are able to listen to their stories and get a glimpse of what it’s like in the medical field. “You can connect with a lot of professionals and be exposed to different fields,” Orcine said. One of its biggest exposure opportunities is its collaboration with the Medical Student Mentorship Program (MSMP), which pairs current medical students from the John A. Burns School of Medicine

medical school, write a personal statement and prepare for the MCAT. In addition to PMA events, mentees are able to attend events for MSMP. With ample opportunities to get involved and to learn, prospective members can have many expectations. “They can expect to have fun,” Uy said. “They’ll expect to do a lot of work in terms of the membership points. But more impor-

tantly, they’ll expect to learn a lot about the health-care ﬁeld. If they ask questions, they’ll get to know the answers. And they can make friends, that’s for sure.” With the kickoff of fall semester, Orcine is looking ahead toward another successful and enriching school year. “I’m excited to see new faces and eager students get involved in our organization,” she said. PMA membership is offered only to current UH students. To join, students must complete an application and waiver and submit them to the Pre-Health/Pre-Law Advising Center. The forms and other information may be found at hawaii.edu/ premed.

RATE MY PROFESSORS SPOTLIGHT

Cognitive psychology professor integrates laughter with learning Professor Andrew Dewald mixes Kanye, cats and craniums FACTOIDS

Andrew Dewald has gained a reputation with students for being witty, funny and knowledgable. INTRODUCTION

RateMyProfessors Spotlight is a proﬁle series dedicated to the top-rated professors at UH Mānoa, using RateMyProfessors. com as a benchmark. For those who aren’t familiar with RateMyProfessors, it is a website that gives students the options to search for a professor by school, then allows them to read and leave comments about professors. Students can rate professors from 1 to 5 in helpfulness, clarity, easiness, hotness and overall quality. HARRISON PATINO CONTRIBUTING WRITER

Professor Andrew “Andy” Dewald is the first face many students see from the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa’s psychology department. With his 6-foot stature, certified “hot” rating on RateMyProfessors and an unorthodox teaching style that includes “sex and cats at least once a lecture,” he’s definitely a face to remember.

At press time, Dewald has a 4.6 in helpfulness, a 4.7 in clarity and a 3.7 in easiness, earning him a 4.6 overall score on RateMyProfessors. HUMBLE BEGINNINGS

With a Ph.D. in cognitive psychology Dewald didn’t plan on being the campus’s resident master of the mind. “I had never intended this – ever,” Dewald said. Brought up in what he calls “the most ordinary childhood you could imagine” in southeast Pennsylvania, young Dewald toyed with the idea of taking a job as a city bus driver. Dewald took a year off of school to work before starting college. Not wanting to, as he puts it, “bust my balls and back for the rest of my life, in that order,” Dewald headed for higher education – attending colleges “all over.” Aided by some particularly engaging professors, “inertia took over” as Dewald puts it, and he soon found himself a Ph.D. student at UH Mānoa.

RETURNING THE FAVOR

Dewald said that his pursuit of a teaching career was just him returning the favors of past teachers. “I had some really good teachers,” Dewald said. “Some who really inspired me, some who really changed my life.” Citing a tutelage that “made (him) care about learning” and “made (him) feel okay to feel like

teaches more than just subject matter. Past the technicality and test prep, Dewald teaches a philosophy built on “how to think” to the waves of students ﬂooding his lecture halls. “It’s not what you know, but how you know it,” Dewald said. “I don’t care what I teach – it could (be) underwater-basket weaving, it could be neuroscience.”

“It’s not what you know, but how you know it. ... I don’t care what I teach – it could (be) underwater-basket weaving, it could be neuroscience. – ANDREW DEWALD a geek,” Dewald calls his ﬁve years of teaching at UH Mānoa “an honor to the good teachers and a way of making things right with the ones who just made it horrible.” “Super funny and witty” is what one anonymous RateMyProfessors user said of Dewald. “Head and shoulders above the rest,” said another. But like any good teacher, Dewald

For Dewald, the pleasure of teaching comes from making the subject matter “useful.” NOT YOUR TYPICAL PROFESSOR

“Never (a) dull moment in his class,” is what one student-user on RateMyProfessors said of Dewald’s wildly unorthodox lectures. A lover of cats and all things

feline, Dewald spoke at length about his “furry daughter” and house cat of 10 years, Killer. “I am a man who owns cats, yes,” Dewald said. “Cats are great.” Killer has found popularity with students and the Internet alike. “She has her own hashtag that trends on Instagram,” Dewald said. “Not to brag but, yeah, she’s Internet famous.” Known for his playful lecture-hall antics, Dewald employs, more often than not, PowerPoints adorning slides of Kanye West or cat memes rather than charts of the body or bullet-pointed facts. And these wild tactics haven’t gone unnoticed in the eyes of his students, one of whom described the man as “more than just a teacher, an entertainer” on RateMyProfessors. It’s Dewald’s reputation as an entertainer that keeps students coming back to his cognitive psychology class, and his passion for teaching that has them wanting to learn more. Ka Leo O Hawai‘i

The campus was in an uproar following accusations that the school was holding “secret ﬁles” on UH faculty members. This was denied repeatedly by campus ofﬁcials.

Mediocre AB’s “Smash Hit” smashes the trend of applications that use little-to-no mind power and instead focuses only on reﬂex. However, unlike most games that exercise your brain, “Smash Hit” isn’t a puzzle app, but as the title suggests, a game of destruction. This arcade-style title throws players into a dimension similar to the setting of the movie “Tron.” With a ﬁrst-person perspective, the objective is to stay alive as long as possible, which becomes challenging as glass obstacles appear in range. To evade these obstacles, tap the screen to send a metal sphere through the glass and create an opening to escape through. At the start of each level, players are given 25 spheres to use throughout the course. If the player hits the glass, then 10 spheres are lost. However, there are also blue crystals scattered across the track, which reward players with three extra spheres when hit. Shapes have never looked better with simple, yet aesthetically pleasing visuals consisting of polygons. “Smash Hit” also boasts one of the most impressive physics engines in the application business, with spheres following realistic trajectories and lifelike destructive animation. Applications like these prove how much beauty and entertainment a project can provide when the focus is on simplicity. RATING

Shaved snow is usually made out of a huge block of frozen cream with different flavors. It has the same look as shave ice, but has a much creamier, delicate, fluffy taste to it. In fact, it just about melts in your mouth. You can find this delicious treat at several shave ice stands around the island.

How to steal your boyfriend’s clothes and get away with it. Boyfriend’s jeans

Beanies/snapbacks

He won’t miss them from his closet once he sees them on you. These are incredibly comfortable and ﬁt just right as they appear baggy but still sexy. If you want to dress them down, put on some studded T-strap sandals and a white T-shirt. Add a pair of aviator sunglasses and some large bangles, and you have a put-together outﬁt perfect for errands or lounging. To dress your boyfriend’s jeans up, add a pair of point toe pumps and a blazer over a tank top for a night out.

Although these accessories are typically unisex, stealing a hat from your man is satisfying. Guys’ beanies always seem softer and have that great worn-in feeling. Throw one of his snapbacks on for the beach or add one to a simple shorts and T-shirt outﬁt for a much-needed accessory.

Flannels The best flannels come from your boyfriend’s closet; they’re oversized and versatile. If you’re with a guy who loves these, you’re in luck because you will have a larger variety to choose from when pairing it with your outfits. When wearing a dress and boots, wrap your guy’s flannel around your waist as an accessory that also acts as a jacket in case you get chilly. A floorlength skirt can be worn with a flannel as a top - just remember to tie the ends to make it slightly cropped at the bottom. Put your hair up in a top knot and add some thin bangle bracelets for a simple but fun look.

Button down Your guy isn’t the only one who looks amazing in a white button-up. If you’re over the ﬁtted women’s dress shirts, go searching in your boyfriend’s closet for something looser. Roll up the sleeves and add a large gold watch; you can throw on your work pants and still look casually professional. If you’re only trying to impress him, you can pull the classic move of throwing on your sexiest lingerie underneath.

Rock ‘n’ roll T-shirts Nothing is better than a worn-in piece of soft cotton with an awesome band logo across the front. Putting on his favorite band T-shirt will not only make you feel close to him by wearing one of his most prized possessions, but will also look great with so many outﬁts. Put on some skinny jeans and high-heeled boots for an edgy nighttime look, or if you want a daytime look, throw on a pair of black leggings and knee-high boots to look relaxed and ready for the day ahead.

Sweaters Soft sweaters and jackets are never lacking in a man’s closet. You can use these in many ways and never get tired. Throw an oversized sweater on with a pair of jeans, tucking in the front portion and adding a belt. If you want to go out on the town with one on, put a tight skirt under it and some colorful heels to elongate the line of your legs. Adding an accessory like a chunky bracelet can put a feminine touch on this look. If you’re lucky enough to share the same gender as your partner, then you have double the closets. These tips also work with a good guy friend or you can buy some pieces of your own. A thrift store can be a great place to look.
